After reading it... I think I will hang onto my shares for now... I will get Rights [I need to get the cash ready] but I might even apply for ADDITIONAL shares [need even more cash!]...

The prospects seem upbeat especially with the new meters being rolled out meaning better cashflow & lower bad debts!

The bad debts reduced from 1.99bn to 107mn... Perhaps even lower in 2011

@VVS i think you saw I was right about them connecting 214,088 customers in 09/10..

they plan to connect 420,000 to the prepaid meters by dec 2011....

they've also significantly upgraded the system meaning less power outages...the increased used of hydro this year should also be better on the bottom line.


I'm definitely looking for the cash for my rights but I will not even bother applying for additional rights since I will waste time making lines to pick up my cheque when the application is denied

I'm so tempted to sell all my Kenol Kobil shares @10/- (bought @9.5/-) to acquire more KPLC. As for the rights I'd rather even take a loan than miss out.

BBI will solve it

You will be pinching yourself,five months down the line.Remember Co-op hovering around 9-10 bob for what seemed an eternity?.If the business is good the price will eventually follow.

I have been trying to make guys understand the importance of owning such shares (KPLC) at the bourse. I bought them 3 years ago expecting a share split because it had the highest par value of 20.00 a share.

I predict that the rights price will be Kshs. 20 per share
(This coming after the 1:8 split)

My earlier prediction of kshs. 18.4 may have been discounted too deep.

The numbers I keep on hearing are 160-170 (pre-split)...

The rights will come AFTER the split not before. So just split the above prices by 8; 21.25 - 20

The register will be closed 8th Nov, AGM is on the 10th Nov. Probably the distributio of the IM and the PAL wil be 2/3 weeks after the AGM.

The rights offer may be from late Nov to late Dec. But certainly before the year ends.

I am already looking for money.

KPLC is not a company that utilizes capital efficiently, too much bureaucracy and too much waste on non-core activities. Am still waiting for the rights prospectus

I've been working with 20/-. And I can bet I'll be selling off the newly acquired shares at +50% ie 30/- in Feb. There's no way the rights will be undersubscribed for this gold mine.

Low of 222/- today. Do you think it will go even much lower when books close?

Books for dividends closed on 21st october.
Someone is suppressing the price so as to buy more before the rally for the books closure for share restructuring on 8th november.
